Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 4, 1992 - THREE Portland kids visit Morrow County Former HHS teacher honored publication we clearly have the best teachers in America selected by the best students.” The students were requested to nominate teachers who “ made a difference in their lives” by help ing to shape their values, inspir ing interest in a particular subject and/or challenging them to strive for excellence. Many of the students commented about the en thusiasm and knowledge their teachers demonstrated in the classroom, and many praised their teachers for their ability to relate to youngsters on a personal as well as a professional level. One student wrote about her teacher saying, “ she made educa tion something pleasurable, in stead of a dreadful ordeal, by let ting me spread my wings and showing me the best way to fly.” Former Heppner High School teacher Michelle Warburton has been selected for the state listing of the “ Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers” 1992. All of the 65,000 teachers honored were selected by their former students who themselves are currently listed in “ Who’s Who Among American High School Students,” or “ The Na tional Dean’s List,” publications which recognize the top five per cent of our nation’s high school and college students respectively. Paul Krouse, publisher of “ Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers” said, “ There is no greater honor teachers can receive than to be recognized by former students for their ex cellence and dedication. In this Oregon T rail plans take shape The Hallelujah kids from Portland performed at Hope and Valby Lutheran churches The city and the country ex changed a little bit of culture this past weekend and both seemed to benefit by the experience. The Hallelujah Kids, a singing group of the Redeemer Lutheran Church of Northeast Portland performed at concerts at Valby and Hope Lutheran churches. And, while they were here, they got a taste of life in eastern Oregon. The kids, ranging in age from four to 11 years old, and their three chaperones stayed in local homes and were transported around Morrow County on several sightseeing tours. They visited a wheat ranch and got to taste some wheat kernels, toured the Oregon Trail with guides Robin Baker and her sons, Joey and Corey and visited Wells Springs pioneer cemetery and Finley Buttes, where they saw what happens to the garbage that comes from the Portland area. Darrel King, a member of the Redeemer Lutheran Church and driver of the van that brought the kids to Morrow County, said that the trip has “ been wonderful. Everyone has made us feel very welcome.” Also accompanying the group were Cheryl Chatman, who has been assistant choir director almost since its beginn ing two years ago, and Trina Barber, mother of the four year old Sharnell Brown, who sings with the choir. Chatman says the young choir is “ a ministry in itself. They (the kids) don’t ever say they don’t want to sing. They feel part of the group. It’s more than singing, it’s learning about self esteem.” She added that while the kids come from loving homes, some are from disadvantaged areas and are exposed to the problems of the in ner city. The group connected with Morrow County through Janice Carlson, a niece of Louis Carlson of Heppner. Janice is on the board of the Redeemer Lutheran Church. Besides Sharnell, who along with her mother stayed with the Shirley and Roger Palmer fami ly other memnbers of the choir include: Gabriel and Chris Lathrop, 8, who stayed with the Molly and cecil Rill family; Princess Montgomery 7, stayed with the Palmers; Princess Robinson, 9, Danita Flint 11 and Ivy Flint, 8, all stayed with the Don Peterson family; Alisha Beasley and Shawnta Barber, both 11 stayed with Clint and Sarah Carlson and Paul Spann. 8, and Rachawn Barber 11, stayed with Pastor Stan Hoobing and his family. The kids and their chaperones also enjoyed a hot dog lunch at Beecher’s Cafe in lone and at tended a potluck at Valby church. An energetic bunch of kids, they seemed to be having a good time and said they liked Morrow County. They were not without concerns, however, that their parents were worried about them being so far away from home. Louis Carlson said that the church hopes to reciprocate and send a group of kids from Mor row County to the Portland area. lone Garden Club hosts district meeting The lone Garden Club hosted the Blue Mountain District #10 meeting of the Oregon Federation of Garden Clubs at the Willows Grange Hall Friday October 30 with Eva Lou Greiner of Condon director, presiding.

RADIALS BOARDMAN PHARMACY l HARDWARE 202 NW 1st, Boardman 481-9474 or 481-7351 Most Common Fungal Skin Infection Athlete’s foot is the most com monly occurring skin infection caused by a fungus. The medical term for athlete’s foot is tinea pedis. This slightly contagious infection often results from con tact with shed skin fragments from affected individuals. Specific fungi responsible for athlete’s foot in clude Tricophyton rubrum, Tricophyton mentagrophytes, and E piderm ophyton flo cco su m . These small organisms thrive in a moist environment, such as from highly sweaty feet or from failure to dry between the toes thoroughly after swimming ortaking a shower. Typically, athlete’s foot causes itching, burning, and scaling be tween the toes. Groups of blisters and peeling o f the skin may occur on the bottoms of the feet. The skin between the toes becomes red and often cracks. In the more extreme cases, the toenails may become infected, overgrown, and discolored. In order to avoid the spread of infection, the feet should be kept clean and dry. Application of an tifungal powder or cream will of ten help eliminate the fungi caus- ing the infection. Nonprescription medicines for the treatment of athlete's foot include undecylenic- acid, tolnaftate, clotrimazole, and miconazole. More severe cases of athlete's foot may require soaking the feet in Burow's solution and taking griseofuhin. an oral anti^ fungal medicine.
